Sword guarding Chang'an

Chapter 4 The Strange Object in Xiuwen Pavilion

Xiuwen Pavilion.

The courtyard of the sixth prince Li Jianbai in the palace.

The king of Tang set out to repair the Wen Pavilion.

First, I want to see myself, the prince who I haven't seen a few times from the beginning to the end.

Second, that is to understand what happened that night.

Especially from Zhao Jin's mouth, he learned that his sixth son, who fell from the sky, directly knocked back several assassins, and even killed several assassins on the spot.

In King Tang's mind, didn't he, the sixth son, have no talent for cultivation?
There is almost no high-grade martial arts, at most it is better than ordinary people, it is impossible to fall from the sky, and it is impossible to kill several assassins.

This is the doubt in Tang Wang's heart.

In Xiuwen Pavilion.

Li Jianbai's day was extremely tormented, because he was interrogated by many people, although the people who came to inquire were all polite, but Li Jianbai knew in his heart that all this was because of his status as a prince.

If my identity as a prince is found to be false, I'm afraid I will face severe torture!

Hang gliders are not a product of this era!
After thinking about it, Li Jianbai knew in his heart that he must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

The hang glider probably won't work.

Because the three floors of the palace and the three floors outside have doubled the number of soldiers, and large bows and crossbows have been dispatched to guard the safety of the palace.

The hang glider can only glide out from a high place, the distance is short, the height is low, and it is impossible to escape the range of the crossbow!
"What should I do?" Li Jianbai felt depressed.

I am not a pedantic person, although Li Jianbai is not involved in government affairs and does not care about things outside the window, but he also knows that the atmosphere in the palace is very different recently.

The king of Tang has been irritable and suspicious recently, and many princes have also started to form cliques, and the road to succession has begun!
It seems that there is only one way now!

hot air balloon!
No hang gliding, only hot air balloons.

First, when the hot air balloon starts to rise thousands of meters, or even tens of thousands of meters, even if it is born, it will not be able to keep itself!
In this point, Li Jianbai is very confident!
Just do what you say, Li Jianbai has been a practical school all his life.

As the prince of a country, it is easy for him to ask the Ministry of Industry for some materials.

On that day, after several designs and with the help of several eunuchs and four guards, the first version of the ancient hot air balloon appeared!

"Hahaha!"

Li Jianbai laughed out loud.

One of the guards, Gao Zhan, couldn't help but excitedly said: "What a big Kongming lantern!"

"Huh?" Li Jianbai gave a "huh" questioningly, then "huh" again, and nodded.

"This is called a hot air balloon, it can go up to the sky!" Li Jianbai couldn't help but jump up.

Because I can't wait to try it.

"Hold the rope below, I'll go up and light a fire, and see if I can fly into the sky!" Li Jianbai didn't wait for the guards to respond, he jumped onto the basket, and then lit the middle of the basket with a torch.

Immediately.

The flames jumped up and the temperature rose slowly.

All of a sudden, it was steaming. Under Li Jianbai's command, several eunuchs and guards followed their orders step by step and followed Li Jianbai's instructions.

Soon.

The hot air keeps rising, and the hot air balloon made of canvas is really inflated!

"Damn it!" burst out a foul language of the 21st century, Li Jianbai was very happy in his heart.

"Take off!"

Li Jianbai threw out a large bag of sandbags from the basket.

as predicted.

The hot air rushed out and inflated the canvas hot air balloon into the sky, shaking Li Jianbai standing in the basket bit by bit.

"continue!"

Li Jianbai increased the firepower, threw another sandbag, his face was flushed, and he said excitedly: "Tighten the rope and let it rise slowly."

"Yes, the sixth prince." The eunuch and guards answered in confusion.

The canvas hot air balloon rose bit by bit, watching the basket slowly leave the ground.

Leading Li Jianbai up, the guards and eunuchs couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Hey..." Although Li Jianbai was excited, he also observed the flames in the basket, how long it can burn, how much flames the canvas can withstand, whether there are any mistakes in the connections...can it bear its own weight...etc. .

But at this time...

The door of Xiuwen Pavilion was opened.

"The Emperor is here!"

Zhao Jin's voice was loud and heavy, causing several eunuchs and guards to tremble.

Zhao Jinnai is the most trusted internal official of the King of Tang. "The emperor is here" is not the sharp eunuch's voice in TV dramas.

On the contrary, Zhao Jin's voice made people's hearts tremble.

The emperor is here?

Several eunuchs and guards knelt down on the ground to salute.

Not to mention that the emperor came, even if Zhao Jin came, several guards and eunuchs would be cast down.

What's more, Tang Wang came in person!

"See Your Majesty!"

Several people bowed and knelt at the same time.

While saluting, he put down the rope in his hand.

This meant that Li Jianbai was left to fend for himself.

"What's the matter? There's a lot of noise." Zhao Jin asked without King Tang being angry.

"Return to the manager..." Before the guard could speak, Li Jianbai in the basket of the hot air balloon had already called for help.

"Quickly pull the rope, it's too high!!" Li Jianbai hurriedly shouted.

And this time.

Tang Wang and Zhao Jin also saw the hot air balloon above their heads. Both of them were puzzled, but they were also extremely shocked.

After a moment of stunned.

The two guards stood up immediately, ready to pull the rope.

pity……

The rope has already followed to the sky, and it is simply out of reach!

"Damn it!" Li Jianbai uttered another swear word, cursing his mother inwardly, and secretly said: "It's so high, if you fall down, you will definitely be smashed into meatloaf!"

Because people on the ground can't even reach the rope, this height is already equivalent to the height of seven or eight floors!
If you fall like this, you will be disabled for life if you don't die!
"Help, help." Li Jianbai yelled in disappointment.

When Tang Wang saw such a scene, he couldn't help but worry, and immediately said: "Zhao Jin, hurry up, save the six sons."

"Yes."

After answering, I saw Zhao Jin flying up, leaping upwards, leaping up to a height of more than ten meters on the spot, flying into the air, stretching out his hand, and grabbing the rope.

"Damn!" This is shocking shit!

"Get me down!"

Zhao Jin exerted force suddenly, increasing the weight of a person, and the hot air balloon slowly fell.

After calming down, Li Jianbai didn't panic too much. In the basket, he lowered the flame and let the hot air balloon slowly lower its height.

In fact, without Zhao Jin's action, Li Jianbai himself has a way to deal with it, but now seeing Tang Wang coming, Li Jianbai has no choice but to pretend to be stupid!

After landing safely, Li Jianbai deliberately put on a frightened look, his face was pale and his legs were shaking.

"See father." Li Jianbai saluted tremblingly.

"Humph!"

Tang Wang snorted coldly and walked towards the hall.

And Li Jianbai shrugged, and could only follow closely behind.

Inside the hall.

"Seeing what you did, you almost lost your life!"

"Eh... It's not that the father came suddenly. I told the people below to hold on to the rope, and blame the father..." Li Jianbai muttered.

"What did you say? Liu Zi, are you saying it's my fault? Or I shouldn't have come, it's a mistake?"

"My son didn't say anything, it's good for the father to know in his heart." Li Jianbai cupped his hands and said.

"It's good that I know it in my heart... If you dare to talk back, you will know that you will lose your mind. I have heard Zhao Jin say that when you return to the palace, you will toss these messy toys every day!" Tang Wang angrily scolded.

But Li Jianbai murmured to himself in a low voice: "Playthings? Hehe... A hang glider that can fall from the sky, a hot air balloon that can fly thousands of feet... can easily climb over the nine walls of the imperial palace and escape the attacks of the big insiders." Exploration, how simple is this just a plaything?"

Hearing Li Jianbai's words.

Tang Wang suddenly didn't have to feel a chill on his back!
"Liu Zi, what hang glider of yours, and the hot air balloon just now, I want it." I realized the value of these two things immediately.

The king of Tang is not stupid, otherwise, he would not be the lord of Tang.

Build a peaceful and prosperous world!

"My father wants it, but I dare not refuse to give it, but I want to leave the palace."

"Going out of the palace?" Tang Wang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his six sons to make such a simple request, but he understood it in an instant.

"I've heard that you have escaped from the palace 32 times. No, including last night's time, it should be 33 times... Hehe... You want to leave the palace, but I won't allow it. Make other requests."

"Your uncle..." Li Jianbai almost lost his temper. He thought that his father would casually agree to his request to leave the palace.

Unexpectedly, it was rejected in one gulp.

"Is it okay to change any request?" Li Jianbai was not stupid, he said deliberately.

"Of course." King Tang nodded.

Li Jianbai immediately said: "Okay, the so-called king is not joking, I want to leave the court and open up the palace outside!"

This sentence is finished.

Tang Wang's face suddenly changed, became cold, became indifferent, and became like another person.

"You want to leave the pavilion to open up the palace, what do you want to do? Open the mansion and recruit talents?" Tang Wang looked at Li Jianbai directly, and asked in a cold voice.

moment.

Li Jianbai was sweating all over, and immediately realized that he had said something wrong.

The Tang State has the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Only those princes who leave the cabinet and start a mansion can enter the government, recruit talents in the mansion, and gather counselors...

"Hmph... I can't tell, you have such an idea at such a young age, only fifteen, ha ha..." Tang Wang laughed with anger!
He said sharply: "Anyone can sit in the ninth and fifth positions and climb to the top, but you can't. If you want to leave the palace, want to open a mansion, don't even think about it!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Jianbai was also angry, cupped his hands and said: "Father, you are wrong, I have absolutely no intention of that, just like you said, anyone can sit in that position, except me!"

"Hmph, presumptuous!!" Tang Wang was extremely gloomy, and reprimanded and punished him: "One month of confinement, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave Xiuwen Pavilion for half a step, otherwise you will be sent to the Zongfu for punishment!!"

Done.

King Tang led Zhao Jin away angrily.

But Li Jianbai took a deep breath, feeling very displeased with himself as a cheap father!

The king of Tang who left Xiuwen Pavilion felt angry and angry, and lost his former composure, because he thought of Li Jianbai's mother.

He whispered: "Does he want to climb to the top or has he never looked down on this position, or is he just like his mother, wanting to leave this palace crazily, and has never looked down on this majestic and splendid palace?"

Zhao Jin followed closely, but dared not answer a word.
